Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

The organization carries on Susan B. Anthony's legacy to end abortion by training pro-life activists and candidates, advocating the passage of pro-life legislation in congress, and working to dispel the myths about abortion. The SBA List is dedicated to advancing and representing pro-life women.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Advancing pro-life legislation and pro-life women, training activists and candidates

  • Issue Advocacy Program - SBA List encouraged its membership to take action to help pass laws that save lives and to help defeat anti-life measures at the federal and state levels. Activists take action by signing petitions to Congress and state legislatures through the mail; using SBA List's online legislative action center to contact Congress and state legislatures through email or by phone; attending grassroots rallies; and by speaking out on social media. SBA List also launches paid media campaigns to educate and mobilize activists using TV ads, radio ads, newspaper ads, digital ads, and patch-through phone call campaigns. This includes opposing ballot measures at the state level designed to expand abortion. These grassroots efforts are reinforced through SBA List's lobbying team that directly lobbies Congress and state legislatures, and by SBA List's field team that organizes activists in key states. SBA List's top legislative priorities include passing gestational limitations on abortion; passing laws that prohibit taxpayer funding of abortion, especially through Obamacare; ending taxpayer funding for organizations that provide abortion services; defeating proposed bills that would expand abortion and/or taxpayer funding of abortion; passing laws that prohibit or regulate dangerous chemical abortion drugs; passing laws that expand the pro-life safety net for women and families; and passing laws that protect freedom of conscience, among others.

    Expenses $20,067,048 · Grants $7,243,647

  • Membership Communication Program - sent the membership of SBA List educational and legislative updates to keep membership fully aware and engaged on all SBA List activities. These updates are sent via direct mail, e-mail, and social media. These communications help keep members fully educated on the latest pro-life news, how they can help advance pro-life leadership, and how they can lend their voice for the voiceless to help pass laws that will save lives.

    Expenses $482,893 · Revenue $574,321

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

  • 3 · Compensation committee
  • 3 · Independent compensation consultant
